Gradients are a smooth transition from one color state to another. The endpoints of these sections are called stops.

Example
The following example adds three gradient color stops and then deletes the first gradient stop.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub gradients()
    Set myDocument = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
    Set GradientShapeFill = myDocument.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, 90, 90, 90, 80).Fill
    With GradientShapeFill
            .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 128, 128)
            .OneColorGradient msoGradientHorizontal, 1, 1
            .GradientStops.Insert RGB(255, 0, 0), 0.25
            .GradientStops.Insert RGB(0, 255, 0), 0.5
            .GradientStops.Insert RGB(0, 0, 255), 0.75
    End With
    GradientShapeFill.GradientStops.Delete (1)
End Sub
